Perfect for simple AV Setup's!

I wouldn't recommend using ONLY this for your main control unless all you have is a basic system. i.e a cable/satellite box and a TV, maybe a media player like an AppleTV...
If you have a full system including gaming systems, BluRay players, media Players, AV receivers, etc.. I'd go with the Elite model with the built-in touchscreen, else you'll find yourself pulling out your smartphone and using the sync'd Harmony App quite often. Yea, this is no big deal, the app is great... but get real people, it is NOT convenient using your smartphone as a full time remote. Don't fool yourself - the majority of us like to feel actual hard buttons and don't want to look down on our smartphones every time we want to push a "button."

Let the 65-inch screen on this Samsung 7-series television draw you in to the action of your favorite movies and television shows. The Upscaling Picture Engine brings older video quality to near-UHD imaging, and Smart technology on this Samsung 7-series television lets you stream from online services using your Wi-Fi connection.

Great 4KTV for the price

I don't think you can beat this TV for it's price, but there are some things that you should be aware of if (wall mounting) aesthetics are important to you.
1. If you're buying this TV to mount on a wall and expect it to sit very close to the wall, well... NO! There's required 2"-ish spacers that come with the TV that you MUST use with your wall mount. So it may look like a very thin TV, but not after it's wall mounted.
2. The frame around the screen of this TV is thin, which looks great, but it's somewhat flimsy - almost like it's just snapped on or held on with double-sided tape. Some parts of this trim looks like it's separating from the screen right out of the box. I have two of these TV's and both are doing the same thing.
These are my only complaints, and they are minor - most people would never care or notice, but I'm picky! I would still buy this TV again at this price for a 65".

will this control components in a closet BEHIND myself and the tv?
Yes. It will work in a closet/cabinet anywhere within 30-ish feet of you. I've Installed plenty of these and used them to control equipment in closets. The only thing you have to remember is that the Harmony Hub will be controlling all the items in the closet(via RF signal sent from the handheld remote to the Hub) and the handheld remote will send the signal to the TV itself via a line-of-site IR signal - so you will have to (somewhat) point the remote toward the TV when starting the built in activities (Watch TV, Watch BluRay, etc.)
